FINALLY someone used the 7 minute My Pet Goat film in a
TV ad against the village idiot. Why they waited this long is beyond me but it's about time someone highlighted just how incompetent that feckless Texas Turd really is.

4. Amen. I've been hoping for months that it would be used.
One must wonder whether it is really too late to change any minds at this point.

People still uncommitted will probably not vote.

6. HERE'S THE AD, FEATURING MEG RYAN'S VOICEOVER >
NEW YORK, Nov. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- "Concerned Citizens for a Safer America" have produced a 30-second television advertisement which will air today and tomorrow (Tuesday, November 2nd, Election Day), nationally on CNN and in local markets in Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Actress/activist Meg Ryan provides the voiceover for the ad, which is entitled "The Measure of a Man," and focuses on the questionable response of President George W. Bush on the morning of 9/11. The footage depicts the Florida schoolroom where Bush sat and read "My Pet Goat" as the nation came under attack.

The ad features a powerful quote from Martin Luther King, Jr., which states: "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."

Concerned Citizens for a Safer America is a group of Americans whose purpose is to stimulate meaningful dialogue on crucial political issues. The organization urges citizens to carefully consider the character of any candidate for office.

The ad can be seen at:

9. Repugs would have used it in a second
Is there any doubt that if it had been a Democrat President Repugs would be featuring those 7 minutes in every TV ad.

11. Three cheers for Meg Ryan, she will be blacklisted for this
by the far-right, and she was surely aware of this going in, yet she lent her voice to this important ad.

Meg, you're tops !
